Naval Base RV Park Upgrades Open

The long-delayed expansion of the Fairways RV Resort at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme, Calif., is now complete, and 85 spaces are now available to anyone with base access, The Ventura County Star and The Lighthouse reported.

Paul Bruce, who has managed the RV park for seven years, has been eagerly awaiting the completion of the project, saying the 34 spaces available in the past were “well-populated,” especially in the summer months.

“We have a lot of retirees bringing their grandchildren,” he said. “On the Fourth of July everyone lays on the grass and watches the fireworks. The summers here are fantastic.”

The RV park attracts people from all over the country, many of them winter “snowbirds” who travel a regular route through the southern half of the United States.

“There are a lot of retirees who compare notes on all the parks on all the military bases,” he said. “They’ve become friends, and they meet each other in Florida, South Carolina. They drive all over the place. They’re busy.”
